Why Work With Us? We're redefining what a CPA firm can be.
AVIATION-EXCLUSIVE FOCUS
Most CPAs spend their careers as generalists. At H&C, you go deep. Aviation tax is all we do, which means you will build specialized expertise that sets you apart in the market and makes your work genuinely interesting every day.
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
In this role you will collaborate closely with experienced team members who will support your growth in aviation-specific tax knowledge. You will also serve as a key point of contact for our clients, a base that includes aircraft owners and the advisors who support them. It is a client profile that is rare in public accounting and rewarding to serve.
A PRACTICE BUILT ON CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS, NOT VOLUME
Our clients choose to work with us because of the quality of our guidance, not a contract. We deliberately manage workload so our team can deliver exceptional, hands-on client service and still have a life outside of work. That keeps the work honest, the relationships strong, and the standard high.
AUTONOMY WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
You will have clear priorities, defined roles, and regular feedback loops. You will know exactly what is expected, have the independence to execute, and work alongside partners who are invested in your growth.
PASSIONATE TEAM OF QUALIFIED TAX PROFESSIONALS
Work alongside a rare breed of CPAs who are changing how a traditional firm operates, with room to grow professionally and personally.
LOCATION INDEPENDENT
You can work from anywhere in the United States as long as you adjust your time zone to support our clients. Our standard workday is 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Flexible work schedules will be considered.
100% SUPPORTED
You have goals and aspirations, and we'll support you to achieve them. You do your job, and we'll do ours by providing you with proven training, tools, and resources.

Tips for Your Remote Tax Specialist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote tax specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Demonstrate async communication skills upfront
Remote tax employers rely on written communication for client updates, compliance questions, and team coordination. Use your cover letter and any written application materials to show you can explain tax issues clearly and concisely without back-and-forth.
List your cloud tax software fluency specifically
Remote employers screen for hands-on experience with the tools their distributed teams already use. Name the platforms you've worked in, such as Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE, Intuit ProConnect, or CCH Axcess, rather than listing general tax software categories.
Prepare for remote-specific interview questions
Remote tax roles often include interview questions about how you manage competing filing deadlines without supervision, how you flag issues to a remote manager, and what your home office setup looks like. Have concrete examples ready for each.
Remote Tax Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote tax specialist job?
Target companies built around distributed or remote-first operations, since they have the infrastructure and culture to onboard tax professionals without an office. Remote employers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and proficiency with cloud-based tax software. Candidates who can show they've managed deadlines independently, communicated complex tax issues clearly in writing, and used tools like Thomson Reuters or Intuit ProConnect stand out most.
Which companies hire remote tax specialists?
Employers currently hiring remote tax specialists include FILED, CohnReznick, and OneSource Virtual, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote tax specialist roles most commonly appear at remote-first professional services firms, distributed financial services companies, and tech-sector businesses with complex multi-state or international tax obligations.
Can you get a remote tax specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level tax roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person coaching. Companies most open to entry-level remote candidates include smaller tax preparation firms and remote-first accounting services. Showing completed coursework in taxation, a relevant certification like the IRS Enrolled Agent exam, or freelance tax prep work can open the door when direct experience is limited.
Do you need a degree for remote tax specialist jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated tax knowledge, software proficiency, and practical results over a specific degree. Credentials such as CPA licensure, Enrolled Agent status, or a strong portfolio of returns and compliance work carry significant weight. For complex corporate or international tax roles, a degree in accounting or finance is more commonly expected, but it isn't a universal requirement.
Which industries hire the most remote tax specialists?
Most remote tax specialist openings sit in Education and Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to hire tax specialists remotely because their distributed teams and multi-state operations require ongoing tax support that doesn't depend on a physical office.
